Youngsters

Ginger and I had a birding venture the other morning which was delightful – there were dozens of young sparrows, many practicing their songs, and the lifting fog, changing colors, and warming temperature just added to the trip.

Early fall mornings in Vermont are cool and lovely.
This young Northern Flicker thought he was hidden.
Just one of probably 25 juvenile Song Sparrows.
Nearly every morning I’ve birded the reservoir, this local attorney is taking his pre-work workout.
I love hearing White Throated Sparrows trying out their voices, with varying degrees of success.

Most of these birds will head out but the woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays, crows, and others will be around when we bird this winter here on snowshoes. But let’s not push it.
